When Claire Nagy marries Forster Baumsarg, the only son of
prominent California citrus ranchers, she knows she’s consenting to a
life of hard work, long days, and worry-fraught nights. But her love
for Forster is so strong, she turns away from her literary education
and embraces the life of the ranch, succumbing to its intoxicating
rhythms and bounty until her love of the land becomes a part of her.
Not even the tragic, senseless death of her son Joshua at kidnappers’
hands, her alienation from her two daughters, or the dissolution of her
once-devoted marriage can pull her from the ranch she’s devoted her
life to preserving.

But
despite having survived the most terrible of tragedies, Claire is about
to face her greatest struggle: an illness that threatens not only to
rip her from her land but take her very life. And she's chosen a
caregiver, the inscrutable, Caribbean-born Minna, who may just be the
darkest force of all.
